The Aircraft and Scenery Department (ASD) is responsible for the acquisition, initial testing, development, production, and integration of products (aircraft and scenery) for all of WestWind Airline’s divisions (Passenger, Cargo and Executive). The department primarily develops products for Microsoft Flight Simulator version of personal computer based simulators. The ASD provides aircraft for each category while maintaining a unique flavor to WestWind’s divisions. Scenery is also produced to immerse pilots in operating aircraft for a Flag carrier with international presence. The ASD considers itself the Maintenance side of the airline, responsible for the behind the doors (hangar doors) activities that keeps our fleet of aircraft flying.
The ASD is always seeking talented painters, flight dynamics editors, 3D modelers, and script writers who have a talent with developing products for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Interested applicants need only to visit the Maintenance Hangars to the north of Denver International Airport aka our forum.
Attention Windows Vista Users: To install aircraft correctly you must right click on the installer program and select "run as administrator." Failure to do this may result in the aircraft not appearing in the simulator properly.
The transition from FS9 to FSX has been a daunting one. WestWind has added multiple aircraft to the FSX fleet in the years since its release. The Executive Committee believes that we have arrived at a point at which no further fleet additions beyond those which are currently in process as of July 2009 are necessary. However, due to the ever changing availability of aircraft with the passage of time, and the uncertain future of Microsoft's Flight Simulator software, this policy will be reviewed from time to time to ensure that we are still meeting the needs of our members.
